The oyster mushrooms captured my imagination because of their bizarre shapes, alien textures and intricate detail. To create the best images, my preference is the brown and pink color varieties of the oyster mushroom; however, with creativity I am able to capture unique images with blue and grey color varieties. I source the fresh mushrooms at my local farmer's market. I am always on the lookout for other wild mushroom varieties to use in the creation of my artwork.
Rather than titling each image, I number the images sequentially to allow the viewer to form their own interpretation.
These images are silver gelatin prints created in 2017.
Once having to juggle her photography and finance careers, Reid was able to shape her distinct artistic voice, inspired partially by her life partner's diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis, and her own experiences as a transgender woman.
